Basic Jungian Concepts

Basic Jungian Concepts

The aim of the course is to give you an introduction to analytical psychology's key concepts and to explore areas onto which Jung applied his theories. The course also serves as a pre-sessional if you have enrolled on MA Jungian and Post-Jungian Studies.

We concentrate on Jung's model of the psyche, with special attention paid to the definitive concepts differentiating analytical psychology from psychoanalysis:

• the collective unconscious
• archetypes
• complexes
• psychological types
• individuation
• the self and synchronicity

We also explore Jungians evaluation of, and writings related to, the arts, religion and society.
